Melba’s Kitchen
June 17 @ 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM PDT
A trombonist and arranger of the highest order, Melba Liston cut a singular figure across the latter half of the 20th century as the only female horn player to tour and record with leading jazz orchestras, including bands led by Gerald Wilson, Dizzy Gillespie, and Quincy Jones. No group has done more to keep her book of ingenious charts in circulation than Melba’s Kitchen, the 14-piece all-women East Bay combo co-led by trombonist Pat Mullan and saxophonist Nzingah Smith.
